" The `Schedule referred to in theeerLetteraPatent and making' part of the same.

To all whom it may concern.- I y II .Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. MILLER, of'

1 Bralnenburginjthe county of Meade and State of Kentucky, have invented al new and valuable Im prove- Inentvin' Colnbined'Bakers and Broilers; and I do y hereby `declarev that' thefollowing is fall, I clear, and I exactde'seription of the constructionand operation of the same, reference being had to theannexed drawing making a part of this specification, and to the letters and'gures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawing is a-representation of a central vertical-Isectioii ofnny baker in the cylinder.

Figure 2V `isfa perspective view of the saine dei tached I I Figure Bisaoentral vertical section of my. broiler inthe cylinder.4 A lignresfd, 5, 6,17, 8,'9, and .10 are details.,

My invention frelatesto cooking-utensils, and con# siste in theIconstrnet-iou and novel arrangement of' a cylinder providedwithacover, and designdto supl port within` it'abroilin'gfgridiron or baking device, the

cylinder being formedwithout a bottom, in order that tire maybe admitted to thebakerI or broiler. J I

'lhe letter A ofthe drawing designates my improved bakingpan, placed ,Within"the cylinder B, which is open at bottom, and closed at topIby the cover O. I D D are 1ugs,`attached to the inner wall of theteyl- ,inder, and designed to support the baking device.

' lThe baking-pan is perforated in I' the center, and provided with an `inverted funnel, E, tapering upward I to this central opening, and designed to ei'eet-a twofold object. `It gathers the heat Yand conveys it ito. `the baking-chamberawhere.it acts directly upon the upper part of the bread therein, wl1ile,`at the same tixne,its conformation islIsueh that the bottom of the breadis, inl a great degree, protected fron the heat.

"lhus a more equal act-ion isprOdnc'ed, and the bread becomes cooked at the top as well as the `bottom without the necessity of turning Ait over in the pan.

F represents my perforated broiler. The perforations are made in ridges, a a, radiating fromthe center,

-and the hollows between these ridges serve to convey Vthe gravy or juice to the grooved rim c.

, G represents a convex circular broiler, made with or without av handle, 'g, and having the grooved radial 'bars d d inclinedl toward the circumference, in order that the juice 'or gravy may be conveyed tothe channeled rim e. I

. H designates 'a concave broiler, having `its radial arms or bars inclined downward toward the central cup h, designed to catch the gravy.

Sometimes I propose to use a second' gridiron, imY mediately above either of those above mentioned with the grooved bars. Thisl npper.'gridiron is designed to. receive. the meat, and its'bars are made convex, so vthat the gravywill readily run off into the Y 'channeled bars of the lower gridiron, by which itis' conveyed to the grooved rim or centra] cup.

Instead of attaching the grooved or hollow rim e to the radial bars of the broiler, I may' secure lit to the wall of' the cylinder, and provide means for drawing it o through the cylindrical wall.I

. What I claim as 'my-invention, and desire to secureby LettersPatent, is; v d In combination with the centrally-perforated bak ing-pan A, having the downwardly-flaring funnel E, provided with the cylinder-1?,oper1 at the bottom and the cover-O, as and for the'pnrposes specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I havehereunto -subscribed my name in ythe presence of'two witnesses. I
